whats wrong???
 
sometimes when i turn sharp going really slow it feels like my tires are rubbing(i know for a fact that they arent) :argh: . something is grabbing and kinda jerkin. it is hard to describe and it seems to do it worse with a heavy trailor hooked up. it does it in reverse and drive. thanks in advance.

I'd bet you have a bad front axle u-joint...

You sure it isn't in 4wd?

The stick or switch might not be in 4wd but the front end still might be locked on you

sounds like your axle disconnect is stuck

axle joints do that when they are bad.

well im positive the stick is not in 4WD and o know that the front tires aint spinnin in gravel. you know what i mean? the truck has 90k miles on her. do you thinks i should just replace the axel joints anyway and see if that fixes it? couldnt hurt, right?

Don't replace the joints if they aren't bad... they can be a pain in the azz. Just jack the front end up one corner at a time with the steering wheel turned, and spin the tire. If the joint is bad, you'll notice noise or grabbing right away. Easy.:ok1:

Any type of grinding noise?

Dan.tha.Cummins.man 09-02-2009 09:12 AM

naw no grinding just a grabbing feeling. i would jack it up today and look at it but i got thrown off my horse yesterday evening and i can barely walk now. :ouch:
